MIAMI - s4story -- With the buzz around iOS 18 and Apple's upcoming releases, resellers are asking the big questions. At Today's Closeout—America's trusted wholesale source—we're unpacking the essentials to help our partners stay sharp and stock smart.

iOS 18 Support: What Resellers Need to Know

Devices from the iPhone XR and newer support iOS 18, including SE 2nd/3rd gens. But "partial support" matters—features like AI tools or Siri's enhancements may be limited on older models. Knowing what's missing helps minimize returns and set the right customer expectations. We label all our listings clearly with iOS compatibility.

Choosing the Right iPhone 16 Series Model

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are strong mid-range picks with the A17 chip. The Pro models bring serious firepower: titanium build, ProMotion displays, and the A18 Pro chip. Power users and creators lean toward the 16 Pro Max, while budget-conscious shoppers will love the standard 16.

Budget Spotlight: iPhone 16e vs. SE 3

The iPhone 16e is the no-frills powerhouse—modern design, Face ID, iOS 18, and a strong chip. It outpaces the SE 3 in both design and future-proofing. If you're targeting price-sensitive markets, the 16e hits the sweet spot.

Storage & Accessories: Straight Talk

iPhones don't support expandable storage. They come in fixed capacities (128GB–1TB). Upsell options? Cloud storage or wireless drives. And yes—Bluetooth keyboards pair just fine. It's a small upsell with big potential for productivity-minded customers.

Generational Shifts & Market Strategy

The iPhone 14 still sells on price. The 15 brings USB-C and better battery. The 16 series? It's about AI, camera upgrades, and a faster chip. Offering all three models helps you serve every buyer profile—from bargain hunters to bleeding-edge fans.

Don't Ditch the Classics

iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X are still viable in secondary and international markets. They're great for schools, trade-in programs, and Touch ID lovers. We offer tested, certified bulk inventory to keep you covered.
